WHAT on EARTH is this stuff????!!!??

What the heck is this? Little spurts of this all over. Can’t tell if it’s actually moving or if it’s just the current pushing it. 

Sorry, don’t mind the Pleco droppings

Do you feed zucchini? This could be stringy zucchini debris. If not, it might be leftover food beginning to fungus. Either way you may want to consider syphoning it out of there.

Yep I feed Zucchini.
 

That’s too bad I was hoping to be the discoverer of the newest aquarium parasite!!!!

it looks like food fungus i feed shrimp bottom feeders pellets and have to remove them if they are not eaten fast  they fungus easily but with my cories , bristolnose, and snails being pigs 🐖 do not have to remove often

That's adorable. A tank I have for just snails they devour EVERYTHING it's insane! big appetites. 

Thank you for your help!! It's good to know it's not dangerous or harmful at all.

Totally pulled that one out of the hat! I was thinking like a white version of tubifex or something crazy like that, and you (correctly) go with "it's vegetables Bob".

You and me both haha!! My mind was in worst possible scenario mode!!

Not to worry - it takes millennium for them to grow to any size.
